Anyone else addicted to smells?

This is my second pregnancy and I had this in my first too but not quite as extreme - I just can’t stop smelling bloody cleaning products. Every few days there’s a new product I’m “into”. I’m 35 weeks and had this since about 28 weeks. So far I have been through
Bouquet zoflora
Pine disinfectant
Furniture polish
Flash floor cleaner
Domestos bleach spray
Bleach
Ace laundry bleach
Hand sanitiser

I absolutely love going out to get new cleaning products with my shopping. I like to read all the different ways you can clean with them.
My top favs at the moment are the ace laundry bleach and hand sanitiser - can’t find any hand gel with the situation but have managed to buy a pack of hand sanitising wipes, can’t stop wiping my face and hands and sniffing them.

I’ve ordered a bottle of isopropyl alcohol from amazon which is the main ingredient that I’m smelling. Will probably put it in a spray bottle for my counter tops Grin

Every night after I’ve finished cleaning everything up I mop the floor in either bleach or disinfectant and I put a big dollop of it in the sink (not mixed) with boiling water so the smell wafts through, my husband is sick of the smell of chemicals but i can’t get enough.

I also love spraying polish on my radiators then putting them on for half hour so that my living room smells of it.

Does anyone else have this??

Flash citrus floor cleaner here and pine disinfectant I love wiping everything down haha

I've also got a bad habit for sniffing bubble bath in sponges. Sponges are another weakness never enjoyed doing the dishes so much bubbly sponge and washing up liquid smells..

Surprised to see so many people sharing my sponge sniffing/squeezing habit nothing quite as satisfying as getting a new bath sponge or dish sponge out. There's something so incredibly satisfying about it! Kind of hope the pleasure I get never goes... so easy to please myself at the moment Grin and the house is staying pretty clean.

My partner thinks I'm insane and 'overcleaning' haha
